Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. Could eating ice before menstruation delay my period?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by menstrual irregularities. Medications such as Wuzhi Baifeng Pill and Tiao Jing Granules should be taken orally. Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and cold foods during the day. If the effect is not good, hormone tests and ultrasound examinations have been conducted at the hospital.Your condition may be due to qi deficiency failing to control blood, leading to bleeding. This is often caused by prolonged illness, fatigue, or spleen deficiency, which results in qi deficiency. When qi is deficient, it cannot regulate blood flow, causing blood to overflow outside the vessels. Alternatively, chronic blood loss may deplete qi, turning it into qi deficiency that fails to hold the blood.
It is recommended to use a large dose of Astragalus root decoction to invigorate qi and stop bleeding.
